We had a wonderful experience with our private chef (Chef Fergus) tonight. The Mexican food was delicious and truly changed my perception of the cuisine. The portions were generous, and everyone left feeling full and satisfied. The chef was not only polite and nice but also showed a real passion for cooking. I appreciated how tidy and organized the kitchen was throughout the evening. It was great that the chef could tailor the dishes to accommodate our dietary preferences. With a cooking time of just under two hours, everything was prepared efficiently. The food was fresh, and the flavors were fantastic. Overall, my family and I had an enjoyable time together, thanks to the chef's efforts. Highly recommended!
Raul was a true professional and legend! Could t recommend him more! We had the loveliest Christmas Day lunch and his service was exemplary! The turkey was absolutely sublime! Thanks Chef for a wonderful Christmas! Happy new year to you!
Where do I begin the praises for Omar? I came to him asking if he could incorporate my Lithuanian and my partner's Welsh heritage into the wedding dinner. Omar came back to me shortly after doing lengthy research and making the best, one of a kind, incredible menu for us. On the day the team was so lovely, meal was incredible, we cannot stop talking how amazing it was. I cannot recommend Omar enough, he is such talented chef with true passion for food!
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you all for the immense teamwork and collaboration on Kristina & Nick's wedding day, It all ran like absolute clockwork, and you were all so wonderful to work with. I think it's safe to say they had the best weekend of their life which is what we are all aiming for!

I had Miss Mimi cater a Chinese New Year party for 80 people at my home. She did everything from plan the menu, organise the serving dishes to keep on the theme, prep, cook and left my kitchen spotless. And the food was out of this world. She staggered it so it was all hot and fresh and kept a constant mix of dishes she sent out. She did so much research to come up with a wide range of substantial hors d’oeuvres that ranged from vegetarian to quite filling meat dishes. She even went as far as to get the right color orchids to decorate the dishes as well. Nothing was left to chance and she was meticulous about her process. I can’t wait to use her again!
It was great! I'm looking forward to trying out the suggestions from Fleur. And also the pairings with cheeses was so good! I'm glad I attended!
Mimi was such a pleasure to have with us on holiday in France. She had an almost impossible task to cater for thirty-two very demanding people throughout the course of a week. Not only is she an immense amount fun to be around, but she produced some of the most delicious food I have ever tasted. She designed, planned and executed an amazing menu which everyone loved. I could not recommend her more!
Fabulous food, couldn't fault anything that was put on the table, it was absolutely delicious. A couple of things that could've improved the experience rather than a criticism: I would've preferred a bowl rather than a plate for the starters of dahl and cauliflower, which was difficult to eat on a plate.
